Because we no longer use the page cache for buffering, there is no
direct block number to page offset relationship anymore.
xfs_buf_get_pages is still setting up b_offset as if there was some
relationship, and that is leading to incorrectly setting up
*uncached* buffers that don't overwrite b_offset once they've had
pages allocated.
For cached buffers, the first block of the buffer is always at offset
zero into the allocated memory. This is true for sub-page sized
buffers, as well as for multiple-page buffers.
For uncached buffers, b_offset is only non-zero when we are
associating specific memory to the buffers, and that is set
correctly by the code setting up the buffer.
Hence remove the setting of b_offset in xfs_buf_get_pages, because
it is now always the wrong thing to do.

If we call xfs_buf_iowait() on a buffer that failed dispatch due to
an IO error, it will wait forever for an Io that does not exist.
This is hndled in xfs_buf_read, but there is other code that calls
xfs_buf_iowait directly that doesn't.
Rather than make the call sites have to handle checking for dispatch
errors and then checking for completion errors, make
xfs_buf_iowait() check for dispatch errors on the buffer before
waiting. This means we handle both dispatch and completion errors
with one set of error handling at the caller sites.

When memory allocation fails to add the page array or tht epages to
a buffer during xfs_buf_get(), the buffer is left in the cache in a
partially initialised state. There is enough state left for the next
lookup on that buffer to find the buffer, and for the buffer to then
be used without finishing the initialisation. As a result, when an
attempt to do IO on the buffer occurs, it fails with EIO because
there are no pages attached to the buffer.
We cannot remove the buffer from the cache immediately and free it,
because there may already be a racing lookup that is blocked on the
buffer lock. Hence the moment we unlock the buffer to then free it,
the other user is woken and we have a use-after-free situation.
To avoid this race condition altogether, allocate the pages for the
buffer before we insert it into the cache. This then means that we
don't have an allocation failure case to deal after the buffer is
already present in the cache, and hence avoid the problem
altogether. In most cases we won't have racing inserts for the same
buffer, and so won't increase the memory pressure allocation before
insertion may entail.

xfstest 229 exposes a problem with buffered IO, delayed allocation
and extent size hints. That is when we do delayed allocation during
buffered IO, we reserve space for the extent size hint alignment and
allocate the physical space to align the extent, but we do not zero
the regions of the extent that aren't written by the write(2)
syscall. The result is that we expose stale data in unwritten
regions of the extent size hints.
There are two ways to fix this. The first is to detect that we are
doing unaligned writes, check if there is already a mapping or data
over the extent size hint range, and if not zero the page cache
first before then doing the real write. This can be very expensive
for large extent size hints, especially if the subsequent writes
fill then entire extent size before the data is written to disk.
The second, and simpler way, is simply to turn off delayed
allocation when the extent size hint is set and use preallocation
instead. This results in unwritten extents being laid down on disk
and so only the written portions will be converted. This matches the
behaviour for direct IO, and will also work for the real time
device. The disadvantage of this approach is that for small extent
size hints we can get file fragmentation, but in general extent size
hints are fairly large (e.g. stripe width sized) so this isn't a big
deal.
Implement the second approach as it is simple and effective.

Speculative delayed allocation beyond EOF near the maximum supported
file offset can result in creating delalloc extents beyond
mp->m_maxioffset (8EB). These can never be trimmed during
xfs_free_eof_blocks() because they are beyond mp->m_maxioffset, and
that results in assert failures in xfs_fs_destroy_inode() due to
delalloc blocks still being present. xfstests 071 exposes this

When we are doing speculative delayed allocation beyond EOF,
conversion of the region allocated beyond EOF is dependent on the
largest free space extent available. If the largest free extent is
smaller than the delalloc range, then after allocation we leave
a delalloc extent that starts beyond EOF. This extent cannot *ever*
be converted by flushing data, and so will remain there until either
the EOF moves into the extent or it is truncated away.
Hence if xfs_getbmap() runs on such an inode and is asked to return
extents beyond EOF, it will assert fail on this extent even though
there is nothing xfs_getbmap() can do to convert it to a real
extent. Hence we should simply report these delalloc extents rather
than assert that there should be none.

Often mounting small filesystem with small logs will emit a warning
such as:
XFS (vdb): Invalid block length (0x2000) for buffer
during log recovery. This causes tests to randomly fail because this
output causes the clean filesystem checks on test completion to
think the filesystem is inconsistent.
The cause of the error is simply that log recovery is asking for a
buffer size that is larger than the log when zeroing the tail. This
is because the buffer size is rounded up, and if the right head and
tail conditions exist then the buffer size can be larger than the log.
Limit the variable size xlog_get_bp() callers to requesting buffers
smaller than the log.

When a partial write inside EOF fails, it can leave delayed
allocation blocks lying around because they don't get punched back
out. This leads to assert failures like:
XFS: Assertion failed: XFS_FORCED_SHUTDOWN(ip->i_mount) || ip->i_delayed_blks == 0, file: fs/xfs/xfs_super.c, line: 847
when evicting inodes from the cache. This can be trivially triggered
by xfstests 083, which takes between 5 and 15 executions on a 512
byte block size filesystem to trip over this. Debugging shows a
failed write due to ENOSPC calling xfs_vm_write_failed such as:
[ 5012.329024] ino 0xa0026: vwf to 0x17000, sze 0x1c85ae
and no action is taken on it. This leaves behind a delayed
allocation extent that has no page covering it and no data in it:
[ 5015.867162] ino 0xa0026: blks: 0x83 delay blocks 0x1, size 0x2538c0
[ 5015.868293] ext 0: off 0x4a, fsb 0x50306, len 0x1
[ 5015.869095] ext 1: off 0x4b, fsb 0x7899, len 0x6b
[ 5015.869900] ext 2: off 0xb6, fsb 0xffffffffe0008, len 0x1
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
[ 5015.871027] ext 3: off 0x36e, fsb 0x7a27, len 0xd
[ 5015.872206] ext 4: off 0x4cf, fsb 0x7a1d, len 0xa
So the delayed allocation extent is one block long at offset
0x16c00. Tracing shows that a bigger write:
xfs_file_buffered_write: size 0x1c85ae offset 0x959d count 0x1ca3f ioflags
allocates the block, and then fails with ENOSPC trying to allocate
the last block on the page, leading to a failed write with stale
delalloc blocks on it.
Because we've had an ENOSPC when trying to allocate 0x16e00, it
means that we are never goinge to call ->write_end on the page and
so the allocated new buffer will not get marked dirty or have the
buffer_new state cleared. In other works, what the above write is
supposed to end up with is this mapping for the page:
+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+
UMA UMA UMA UMA UMA UMA UND FAIL
where: U = uptodate
M = mapped
N = new
A = allocated
D = delalloc
FAIL = block we ENOSPC'd on.
and the key point being the buffer_new() state for the newly
allocated delayed allocation block. Except it doesn't - we're not
marking buffers new correctly.
That buffer_new() problem goes back to the xfs_iomap removal days,
where xfs_iomap() used to return a "new" status for any map with
newly allocated blocks, so that __xfs_get_blocks() could call
set_buffer_new() on it. We still have the "new" variable and the
check for it in the set_buffer_new() logic - except we never set it
now!
Hence that newly allocated delalloc block doesn't have the new flag
set on it, so when the write fails we cannot tell which blocks we
are supposed to punch out. WHy do we need the buffer_new flag? Well,
that's because we can have this case:
+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+
UMD UMD UMD UMD UMD UMD UND FAIL
where all the UMD buffers contain valid data from a previously
successful write() system call. We only want to punch the UND buffer
because that's the only one that we added in this write and it was
only this write that failed.
That implies that even the old buffer_new() logic was wrong -
because it would result in all those UMD buffers on the page having
set_buffer_new() called on them even though they aren't new. Hence
we shoul donly be calling set_buffer_new() for delalloc buffers that
were allocated (i.e. were a hole before xfs_iomap_write_delay() was
called).
So, fix this set_buffer_new logic according to how we need it to
work for handling failed writes correctly. Also, restore the new
buffer logic handling for blocks allocated via
xfs_iomap_write_direct(), because it should still set the buffer_new
flag appropriately for newly allocated blocks, too.
SO, now we have the buffer_new() being set appropriately in
__xfs_get_blocks(), we can detect the exact delalloc ranges that
we allocated in a failed write, and hence can now do a walk of the
buffers on a page to find them.
Except, it's not that easy. When block_write_begin() fails, it
unlocks and releases the page that we just had an error on, so we
can't use that page to handle errors anymore. We have to get access
to the page while it is still locked to walk the buffers. Hence we
have to open code block_write_begin() in xfs_vm_write_begin() to be
able to insert xfs_vm_write_failed() is the right place.
With that, we can pass the page and write range to
xfs_vm_write_failed() and walk the buffers on the page, looking for
delalloc buffers that are either new or beyond EOF and punch them
out. Handling buffers beyond EOF ensures we still handle the
existing case that xfs_vm_write_failed() handles.
Of special note is the truncate_pagecache() handling - that only
should be done for pages outside EOF - pages within EOF can still
contain valid, dirty data so we must not punch them out of the
cache.
That just leaves the xfs_vm_write_end() failure handling.
The only failure case here is that we didn't copy the entire range,
and generic_write_end() handles that by zeroing the region of the
page that wasn't copied, we don't have to punch out blocks within
the file because they are guaranteed to contain zeros. Hence we only
have to handle the existing "beyond EOF" case and don't need access
to the buffers on the page. Hence it remains largely unchanged.
Note that xfs_getbmap() can still trip over delalloc blocks beyond
EOF that are left there by speculative delayed allocation. Hence
this bug fix does not solve all known issues with bmap vs delalloc,
but it does fix all the the known accidental occurances of the
problem.

xfs_is_delayed_page() checks to see if a page has buffers matching
the given IO type passed in. It does so by walking the buffer heads
on the page and checking if the state flags match the IO type.
However, the "acceptable" variable that is calculated is overwritten
every time a new buffer is checked. Hence if the first buffer on the
page is of the right type, this state is lost if the second buffer
is not of the correct type. This means that xfs_aops_discard_page()
may not discard delalloc regions when it is supposed to, and
xfs_convert_page() may not cluster IO as efficiently as possible.
This problem only occurs on filesystems with a block size smaller
than page size.
Also, rename xfs_is_delayed_page() to xfs_check_page_type() to
better describe what it is doing - it is not delalloc specific
anymore.

Doing background CIL flushes adds significant latency to whatever
async transaction that triggers it. To avoid blocking async
transactions on things like waiting for log buffer IO to complete,
move the CIL push off into a workqueue. By moving the push work
into a workqueue, we remove all the latency that the commit adds
from the foreground transaction commit path. This also means that
single threaded workloads won't do the CIL push procssing, leaving
them more CPU to do more async transactions.
To do this, we need to keep track of the sequence number we have
pushed work for. This avoids having many transaction commits
attempting to schedule work for the same sequence, and ensures that
we only ever have one push (background or forced) in progress at a
time. It also means that we don't need to take the CIL lock in write
mode to check for potential background push races, which reduces
lock contention.
To avoid potential issues with "smart" IO schedulers, don't use the
workqueue for log force triggered flushes. Instead, do them directly
so that the log IO is done directly by the process issuing the log
force and so doesn't get stuck on IO elevator queue idling
incorrectly delaying the log IO from the workqueue.

Queue delwri buffers on a local on-stack list instead of a per-buftarg one,
and write back the buffers per-process instead of by waking up xfsbufd.
This is now easily doable given that we have very few places left that write
delwri buffers:
- log recovery:
Only done at mount time, and already forcing out the buffers
synchronously using xfs_flush_buftarg
- quotacheck:
Same story.
- dquot reclaim:
Writes out dirty dquots on the LRU under memory pressure. We might
want to look into doing more of this via xfsaild, but it's already
more optimal than the synchronous inode reclaim that writes each
buffer synchronously.
- xfsaild:
This is the main beneficiary of the change. By keeping a local list
of buffers to write we reduce latency of writing out buffers, and
more importably we can remove all the delwri list promotions which
were hitting the buffer cache hard under sustained metadata loads.
The implementation is very straight forward - xfs_buf_delwri_queue now gets
a new list_head pointer that it adds the delwri buffers to, and all callers
need to eventually submit the list using xfs_buf_delwi_submit or
xfs_buf_delwi_submit_nowait. Buffers that already are on a delwri list are
skipped in xfs_buf_delwri_queue, assuming they already are on another delwri
list. The biggest change to pass down the buffer list was done to the AIL
pushing. Now that we operate on buffers the trylock, push and pushbuf log
item methods are merged into a single push routine, which tries to lock the
item, and if possible add the buffer that needs writeback to the buffer list.
This leads to much simpler code than the previous split but requires the
individual IOP_PUSH instances to unlock and reacquire the AIL around calls
to blocking routines.
Given that xfsailds now also handle writing out buffers, the conditions for
log forcing and the sleep times needed some small changes. The most
important one is that we consider an AIL busy as long we still have buffers
to push, and the other one is that we do increment the pushed LSN for
buffers that are under flushing at this moment, but still count them towards
the stuck items for restart purposes. Without this we could hammer on stuck
items without ever forcing the log and not make progress under heavy random
delete workloads on fast flash storage devices.

The implementation for this is fairly simply and straight-forward:
A new routine is added that asks the xfsaild to push the AIL to the

then loop if the AIL is not actually empty, and continue to do so
until the AIL is compeltely empty.
We keep an inode reclaim pass in the freeze process to avoid having
memory pressure have to reclaim inodes that require dirtying the
filesystem to be reclaimed after the freeze has completed. This

which shows that we found a single delalloc block beyond EOF (first
line of output) when we were returning the map for a length
somewhere around 10^16 bytes long (second line), and the on-disk
extents showed they didn't go past EOF (last lines).
Further debug added to xfs_vm_write_failed() showed this happened
when punching out delalloc blocks beyond the end of the file after
the failed write:
[ 132.606693] ino 0x80e48: vwf to 0x181000, sze 0x180000
[ 132.609573] start_fsb 0xc01, end_fsb 0xc08
It punched the range 0xc01 -> 0xc08, but the range we really need to
punch is 0xc00 -> 0xc07 (8 blocks from 0xc00) as this testing was
run on a 512 byte block size filesystem (8 blocks per page).
the punch from is 0xc00. So end_fsb is correct, but start_fsb is
wrong as we punch from start_fsb for (end_fsb - start_fsb) blocks.
Hence we are not punching the delalloc block beyond EOF in the case.
The fix is simple - it's a silly off-by-one mistake in calculating
the range. It's especially silly because the macro used to calculate
the start_fsb already takes into account the case where the inode
size is an exact multiple of the filesystem block size...

For the direct IO write path, we only really need the ilock to be taken in
exclusive mode during IO submission if we need to do extent allocation
instead of all the time.
Change the block mapping code to take the ilock in shared mode for the
initial block mapping, and only retake it exclusively when we actually
have to perform extent allocations. We were already dropping the ilock
for the transaction allocation, so this doesn't introduce new race windows.

Instead of calling xfs_zero_eof with the ilock held only take it internally
for the minimall required critical section around xfs_bmapi_read. This
also requires changing the calling convention for xfs_zero_last_block
slightly. The actual zeroing operation is still serialized by the iolock,
which must be taken exclusively over the call to xfs_zero_eof.
We could in fact use a shared lock for the xfs_bmapi_read calls as long as
the extent list has been read in, but given that we already hold the iolock
exclusively there is little reason to micro optimize this further.

Because the mount process can run a quotacheck and consume lots of
inodes, we need to be able to run periodic inode reclaim during the
mount process. This will prevent running the system out of memory
during quota checks.
This essentially reverts 2bcf6e97, but that is safe to do now that
the quota sync code that was causing problems during long quotacheck
executions is now gone.
The reclaim work is currently protected from running during the
unmount process by a check against MS_ACTIVE. Unfortunately, this
also means that the reclaim work cannot run during mount. The
unmount process should stop the reclaim cleanly before freeing
anything that the reclaim work depends on, so there is no need to
have this guard in place.
Also, the inode reclaim work is demand driven, so there is no need
to start it immediately during mount. It will be started the moment
an inode is queued for reclaim, so qutoacheck will trigger it just
fine.

Add abort flag and use it to terminate processing when an exchange

transport_generic_free_cmd function call in the reset and timeout
cases, because calling that function in that context would free
memory that was in use. The aborted flag allows the lifetime to
be managed in a more normal way, while truncating the processing.

I have a new optimized x86 "strncpy_from_user()" that will use these
same helper functions for all the same reasons the name lookup code uses
them. This is preparation for that.
This moves them into an architecture-specific header file. It's
architecture-specific for two reasons:
- some of the functions are likely to want architecture-specific
implementations. Even if the current code happens to be "generic" in
the sense that it should work on any little-endian machine, it's
likely that the "multiply by a big constant and shift" implementation
is less than optimal for an architecture that has a guaranteed fast
bit count instruction, for example.
- I expect that if architectures like sparc want to start playing
around with this, we'll need to abstract out a few more details (in
particular the actual unaligned accesses). So we're likely to have
more architecture-specific stuff if non-x86 architectures start using
this.
(and if it turns out that non-x86 architectures don't start using
this, then having it in an architecture-specific header is still the
right thing to do, of course)

13) PPP has this annoying behavior in that for every transmit call it
immediately stops the TX queue, then calls down into the next layer
to transmit the PPP frame.
But if that next layer can take it immediately, it just un-stops the

Besides being useless work, it makes several facilities unusable, in
particular things like the equalizers. Well behaved devices should
only stop the TX queue when they really are full, and in PPP's case
when it gets backlogged to the downstream device.
David Woodhouse therefore fixed PPP to not stop the TX queue until
